Lee Harvey Oswald Coverup

The Lee Harvey Oswald cover-up refers to the alleged efforts to conceal or distort information related to Lee Harvey Oswald's role in the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Oswald, a former U.S. Marine and defector to the Soviet Union, was arrested for the murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit shortly after the presidential assassination and was himself killed by Jack Ruby two days later. The term encompasses various theories and claims suggesting that certain individuals or groups, including government agencies, may have engaged in a cover-up to obscure Oswald's motives, connections, or the possibility of additional conspirators. In Hebrew, this concept might be translated as הסתרת פרטי לי הארווי אוסוולד (Hastrut Pratei Lee Harvey Oswald). The phrase Lee Harvey Oswald cover-up can also be translated into Spanish as la encubierta de Lee Harvey Oswald and into French as le camouflage de Lee Harvey Oswald. Key contextual information includes the findings of the Warren Commission, which concluded that Oswald acted alone, and the subsequent House Select Committee on Assassinations, which suggested the possibility of a conspiracy involving multiple parties. These investigations, along with numerous independent studies, have fueled ongoing debates and speculation about the extent of any cover-up and the true circumstances surrounding Kennedy's assassination.
